"New Mathematical Prize at Cambridge"
"Cambridge, Oct 9. Dr Mollison, Master of Clare College, has offered to give £500 to found a
prize, to be called the Mayhew Prize, to be awarded by the examiners in Part II of the Mathematical
Tripos to the candidate who, in their opinion, is of the greatest merit, preference being given
caeteris paribus to a candidate whose main subjects are branches of applied mathematics. The
Council of the Senate recommend that the offer be accepted and that the Special Board be asked
to frame regulations for the award of the prize."

Published in "The Times", Wednesday 24th May 1893:
"The Council of the Senate report that by the will of Mr Henry Tyson, formerly manager of the
Bank of Westmorland, Kendal, a sum of £300 was bequeathed to the University, the interest
annually to be for a gold medal for the best proficient in mathematics and astronomy in the
same way as Dr Smith's, and to bear the donor's name. The bequest was subject to the life
interest of Mrs Tyson, who died in 1880, Mr Tyson dying in 1852. The legacy of £300 was paid
to the University in 1880 and invested in Consols. The dividends have been added to the capital,
and the fund now amounts to £410 6s. 4d., with an uninvested balance of £11. By inadvertence
steps were not taken immediately after the receipt of the bequest to frame regulations for the
award of the medal. The Special Board for Mathematics have now drawn up a scheme as follows:-
The bequest shall be applied to the foundation and annual award of a gold medal to be called
the Tyson medal. The medal to be awarded annually to that candidate for Part II of the
Mathematical Tripos who shall in the judgment of the examiners acquit himself best in the
subjects of Division V of Schedule IV of the regulation for the examination provided his work
in these subjects be of sufficient merit, and provided further that such candidate be placed in
the first class. In case in any year the medal is not awarded, the income for that year to be
added to the capital of the fund. The Council recommend the adoption of the above regulations,
the first award of the medal to be made in 1894."

NB: A Tyson medal for the best scholar in mathematics and astronomy had been awarded at
Christ's Hospital school since 1881.
